ABAQUS

AltaSim Technologies’ staff has over 25 years expertise in the development and
application of finite-element based analysis using ABAQUS . We have applied ABAQUS
to understand the behavior of laboratory-based tests and the response of large scale
complex structural components. AltaSim’s engineers can accurately simulate the
behavior of a range of conditions including:

High-rate loading including impact, metal forming and explosive loading of
water (UNDEX) and land based (AIREX) applications

Heat transfer due to conduction, convection and radiation

Large deformation using explicit solver techniques

Surface contact, impact analysis and inelastic buckling phenomena

Structural vibration

Complex materials response including linear, non-linear and time dependent
behavior including traditional structural, thermo-elastic/plastic and biomaterials

Specialized user material models (UMATS)

Over the years, AltaSim’s expertise in these areas has supported a wide range of
technology developments including the design of large scale ship structures subject to
high rate loading and small scale implanted medical devices under loading from
human body activity; the identification of safe operating limits and inspection intervals
for damaged petrochemical plants, and the manufacturing conditions for automotive
component production; the impact of manufacturing induced residual stresses on the
behavior of complex structures and the development of material processing and
manufacturing operations.

Study and Simulate are a function of Solve. The scope and complexity of the required solution will determine the time required to identify the root causes, isolate the critical parameters, and develop cross disciplinary/multifunction solutions that provide sustained benefit.
